I typically use "su - zenoss" to access the zenoss user on the VM. I don't know of a password for the zenoss account and all references to it I can find mention su-ing to it. You can set it if you like with "passwd zenoss" as the root user, but there's not really a need for that. If it's not working as expected, make sure you use the "-" in the "su - zenoss", this argument is used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.
